- If your rexx program doesn't require any user interaction, you
- can detach it to run in
- the background:
-
- '@detach rexxpgm.cmd 1>nul 2>nul'
-
- You can also use the "rxstartsession()" function in the RXU
- function package which
- allows you to specify what kind of session your rexx program
- (actually cmd.exe) is
- to run in (which I think includes "invisible" or something like
- that).
